The starting rotation of the New York Yankees has recently faced difficulties, with injuries persistently hampering the team. Excluding Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortés, the Bombers are missing Luis Severino, Carlos Rodon, and Frankie Montas.
After securing Rodon with a $162M contract spread over six seasons, he has already been diagnosed with a chronic back injury that will limit his performance for the remainder of the 2023 season.
Indeed, Rodon received a cortisone injection last Tuesday and hasn’t pitched in over a week. It is hoped that the injection will alleviate some of the discomfort and stiffness that’s impeding his recovery.
